Installing

Note

The securing screws for the retaining strip are corrosion-re‐

sistant. No further secondary treatment is required.

If a screw is overtightened, it is essential to replace it with a

“black” oversize screw.

• There are no pre-drilled holes for the securing screws.
– Measure holes according to the table below.
– Mark holes for securing screws with centre punch.
– Drill out holes with a 1.5 mm drill bit.

Note

Dimension -a- is measured including wheel housing liner -2-. The other dimensions -b through i- are always

measured from the centres of the holes.

Dimension -k- can only be measured in rear area on 4-door vehicles.

For two-door vehicles, determine dimension -k- in height to the front holes.

The table follows.

Dimension -a-

= 855 mm

Dimension -b-

= 822 mm

Dimension -c-

= 617 mm

Dimension -d-

= 411 mm

Dimension -e-

= 205 mm

Dimension -f-

= 205 mm

Dimension -g-

= 411 mm

Dimension -h-

= 617 mm

Dimension -i-

= 822 mm

Dimension -k-

= 37 mm

That was the table.
